Always avoid Vauxhall if you can. Needed a front hub last year, and this is the same part they fit to literally millions of Vectras, Astras, corsas etc, &pound;250 + Vat. Probably costs GM 15Euros to make.

A and r pound in baldock did my red roof, it was &pound;130ish in the end as the fabric was a slag to get hold of as many mills are closing. He said if I wanted black it'd have been less than half that. Don't quote me though

That's a good point, I don't even know if that quote included the bag and bars!

I imagine that as time goes on they'll become more sought after as people fall victim to vandalism and the roof begins to deteriorate through wear.

Glad I've got mine now. Roof bars and bag intact.

Being back on the forum, seeing a few cars changing hands has really got me yearning for a VX again... Ended up checking out YouRube videos until the early hours this morning. Just need to get rid of the 530D!!! *old man's car*

Yep - Gutted I missed out on DrRock's VXR. That would have been perfect, especially at that price.

Just need to shift the Beemer...and try to convince Mrs G that it's her turn to get the 'family car'... We've got two little'uns to cart around and she's got a hideous '05 Mini Cooper for now. Not big enough. Can't wait to see the back of that piece of junk too!
